Trump berates reporter for asking about alleged shooter's manifesto: 'You're a disgrace'
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
President Donald Trump called CBS News reporter Norah O'Donnell "a disgrace" during Sunday's broadcast of "60 Minutes" when she asked for his reaction to the manifesto the alleged White House Correspondents' Dinner shooter left behind. On Saturday, several shots were fired inside the Washington Hilton, where the dinner was being held. The alleged shooter, Cole Allen, struck one Secret Service agent in the bulletproof vest during the ordeal. Trump and all of the administration officials in attendance were swiftly whisked away after the shots rang out, according to reports. No one was killed during the incident. Allen allegedly sent his family members a manifesto in the moments leading up to the shooting. In one part of it, he said he cannot allow "pedophile, rapist, and traitor" to continue to "coat [his] hands with crime." O'Donnell said it was a "stunning thing to read," and asked Trump for his reaction during the interview. "I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you're horrible people," Trump snarled. "Yeah he did write that. I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody.""You think he was referring to you?" O'Donnell asked. "I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from a sick person," Trump continued. "I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate were the ones involved with, let's say, Epstein or other things." "You should be ashamed of yourself, reading that. I'm not any of those things. You shouldn't be reading that on "60 Minutes." You're a disgrace. You're disgraceful," Trump added. TRUMP: I'm not a rapist.
